hi so quick question for therians/alterhumans. background, im entirely closeted as a therian besides on tumblr. i have one (1) irl on here and he doesnt really check tumblr often so idk if she knows. probably not. i also have a boyfriend, he and i are incredibly close and hes the first person i told about my name change and id say hes my favorite person. i love him dearly and hes very important to me. his opinion is almost as important as my own, although my opinions regarding myself and my actions will always trump his. also, heβs a furry. this is semi-relevant, i suppose. so am i, thats the closest he knows to my nonhumanity is that im a furry and i use he/him and it/its. he only uses he/him for me but its whatever, thats what everyone does.
now that you have background, my question. i was talking to him and i told him that i was curious and running a study because of the overlap in the therian and furry communities (yes, i know not every therian is a furry and vice versa, there just seem to be a number that are both) and i asked him what he thought about therians. he refused to give me what he called βthe long answerβ and instead gave me the short answer of βim not a huge fan, i think theyre weird but its their life.β in essence. he also brought up the whole litter box in schools bullshit that hasnt happened. its rage-bait at least 99% of the time. but idk. the question i have is, how do i proceed? i really wanna tell him but i cant lose him. if hes not supportive i guess i shouldnt stay with him but neither of us know any therians irl and his opinions could change depending on me and his knowledge of me. what should i do?
